Happy Relationships "Too Republican" To Be Cool? Riiiiight…

Is having a boyfriend now considered "uncool"? In this thought-provoking episode, Malcolm and Simone dive deep into the cultural shifts around relationships, social status, and online identity—especially among urban, progressive communities.

They explore why some women are now hesitant to share their relationships online, the rise and fall of trends like the "stay-at-home girlfriend," and how social media algorithms and peer pressure shape what we see (and don't see) about love lives. The conversation covers everything from viral articles and Reddit threads to the impact of influencer culture, parasocial relationships, and the new "flex" of being single.

Whether you're curious about the latest social trends, the politics of dating, or just want a fresh perspective on modern relationships, this episode is for you.
